      Pay-per-Lead Subscription for 3PLs

      About the Pay-per-Lead Subscription

      The Pay-per-Lead (PPL) Subscription gives 3PLs of all sizes equitable access to eHub Network’s lead referral program.

      With PPL, you can grow your business by receiving access to high-quality merchant leads that align with your specialties and fulfillment strengths.

      This plan is specifically designed for 3PLs with fewer than 500 monthly shipments through eHub contracts, enabling smaller providers to compete effectively for new business.


      Eligibility

      The PPL plan is available for:

      • 3PLs on eHub Network shipping fewer than 500 shipments per month via eHub contracts
      • Other logistics providers seeking to scale their business using eHub’s targeted lead program

      This plan is ideal for growing 3PLs seeking new merchant leads without high minimum-volume requirements.

      Frequently Asked Questions


      Q: What happens if I don’t accept or decline a lead within 48 hours?

      A: The lead will be removed from your Pending list and reassigned to another 3PL. No fee is incurred unless you purchase the lead.

      Q: Can I request more leads to scale faster?

      A: Leads are matched based on your profile and current demand. Updating your specialties improves matches, but the number of leads depends on merchant requests and fit. For more than three leads per month, consider upgrading to the Unlimited Subscription.

      Q: Is there a minimum commitment?

      A: No. The PPL subscription is month-to-month. You can cancel anytime.

      Q: Will I be charged for leads I don’t purchase?

      A: No. Only purchased leads incur the $100 fee.

      Q: What information is provided before I purchase a lead?

      A: You can view:

      • Merchant’s product type

      • Required specialties

      • Estimated shipment volume

      Q: How many 3PLs receive the same lead?

      A: Each lead may be shared with 1–4 3PLs in the Pay-per-Lead plan. Merchants typically explore multiple options before selecting a partner. Sharing leads across several qualified providers increases the likelihood of a successful match within the eHub Network.
